Pats to come out firing against Texans-- Wed Jan 9 10:00 pm -- Belichick on game plan: "You need to attack"
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is doing his very best to erase all memories of his team's whitewashing of the Houston Texans less than one month ago. He has stressed how good the Texans are and how aggressive his Patriots need to be. "You don't win a war by digging a foxhole and sitting in it. ... You need to attack," Belichick said at his Wednesday news conference. (NFL.com)
FF Today's Take:The Patriots are heavily favored in this one and with good reason. Tom Brady racked up 296 passing yards and threw for four touchdowns against the Texans on December 10th. The Pats also put up 130 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground, so the Houston defense could have their work cut out for them.
